october 2012

 since having his fundo done travis is a lot more vocal , he loves to lay in front of the laptop and watch cbeebies , here he is laughing/snorting lol at baby jake

 watching alphablocks

 this picture was taken which he was having a quick stop off in the hospital with another chest infection . luckily we didnt have to stay this time , he decided he wanted to try sitting up , sitting at an angle seems to help him balance

 paying a stop off to feed our family horsesand give nose kisses , he loves them , this one is called lola

 stroking one of the other horses copper and posing for his picture

 travis and his friend daisy at a mac millan charity coffee morning

brainwave july 2012

these are the pictures of travis at brainwave intense physiotherapy centre.
brainwave is a charity that helps children with various brain injuries.
we will be going back again in february.
they showed us how to do various stretches and exercies with travis to help with relaxing his muscles,we did a 2 day intense course and will be returning every 6 months to follow up appointments.
it costs quite a bit but i think it is worth it just for the knowledge of how to do different things to try and help travis.
they send you home with all the equipment they used with him on the course and a dvd of them doing the exercises with travis so you can watch it back to make sure you are doing it right.
i can see an improvement in the last 2 months in traviss head control .
